Looking for 3D prints for capping blocks or lock body holder

[Bunnycoitus]

Hello,
I've found a few handy prints for various little odds and ends, from followers up to actual locks, but I've been unsuccessful in trying to track down a print or the specs to design a standard capping block.

I was wondering if anyone has found designs for this and in general what 3d print designs people have tried and which ones have worked

This is a great opportunity for someone to create useful cylinder holders. I tried making a cylinder holder for SFIC but the wood cracked and became stained. I am still using a broken part of one for Sargent. It would be great for Medeco, Corbin, and Sargent LFICs also.

Shout out if you find or make a good product.

This is a link to an stl for follower tools.

... And a few more selections i've been able to track down but not print yet.

I'm not sure how durable those tools will be made from plastics. I do not have anything to compare to. My followers are mostly made from brass or stainless tubing. What I was referring to is a holder, similar to an egg crate, in which I can line up and organize pinned cores before they have been capped. When we have a bunch to do, we pin a group and then move to cap them all. Thanks. I'll keep watching.

I'd agree about the dubious durability.

I've tried the plastic capping blocks, and even if they're made of durable resin, and the like, or cast, they did not have much durability. I can't recommend them.

I know this is an old thread, but wouldn't it be easier to buy an old used sfic mortise and drill the holes and make your own pinning block. I have a mill so it would be a fairly simple process to flatten the bottom, top and sides as needed and then drill holes. But, even with basic tools is shouldn't be to hard. The mortise already has the interior milled which would be the hard part, and then the core would fit perfectly.
